I think it just doesn\'t like it when you quit it.  Sort of the \"You can\'t fire me because I quit,\" mentalitly, only here it\'s \"You can\'t terminate me because I seg fault (or exit due to some error).\"  I wouldn\'t worry about it.

Linux is stable, customizeable, secure, and free.  It does cause headaches sometimes, but the more you use it, the easier it becomes to fix problems.  I\'m using gentoo, but I dont think i\'d recommend that for a beginner.  Check out Fedora Core 3 or Knoppix.  

There aren\'t many games that run in Linux, but I contend that PS is the only game that matters.  It is true that the linux version always comes out after the windows one, but you can alwasy build your own following the guides at laanx.fragnetics.com.  It is not always easy, however.

The first time I ever installed linux on a machine, it was Red Hat 7.something, and its installer gui offered this metaphor:  \"Would you by a car that\'s hood had been welded shut?\"

Did you use the specified CVS date and version?  You probably did if you followed the gentoo guide, which is odd b/c in my experience that version builds fine.  If you didn\'t use that one, then there is a good chance your source code has compile errors and thus doesn\'t build everything.

Nevermind, just had to recompile everything (not just PS) and it works fine now.  I would have used the installer, but, once you almost have it running from source, it\'s very difficult to give up!

The Hydlaa Plaza / how did you find PS?

i\'m curions--how did everyone out there find Planeshift?

I ask because it\'s not exactly out there for the finding, and to find it I did something that I think most people would not.

I decided that it was high time for there to be a free MMORPG.  I  knew that I was not nearly a good enough programmer to be the one to make it, so i decided to see if there already was one.  I did a sourceforge search for MMORPG, knowing that anything sourceforge turned up would be free.  And thus, I found Planeshift.  But I  doubt that that\'s the way that most of you found it.

Every once in a while, psclient, when it is finally done loading the plaza, does this:

psclient: coreanimation.cpp:240: void CalCoreAnimation::getPose(float, std::vector >&) const: Assertion `time >= 0.0f && \"time must be > 0\"\' failed.
Aborted

Once it does this once, it keeps doing it.  All I can do to fix it is to recompile it.  And it is not enough to recompile in the same dir, even if run jam clean.  I have to delete the entire directory and copy over a dierctory that is just cvs source (the cvs version that malverian\'s script downloads)  Once I recompile it that way I can run it a few times before it does that again.  Any thoughts?

That makes sense.  What I sill don\'t understand is why a friend of mine, a fellow gentoo user, already had these devices in /dev.  I have a feeling they were supposed to be there by default, but for some reason they weren\'t.  Maybe I made some mistake when installing gentoo.

I don\'t entirely understand what I just did, but it worked!  I\'ve been trying to fix that (on and off) for months.  I really appreciate your help on this, as well as the others who replied to this thread.

No, for some reason I dont have it, even though I have built all the oss emulation into my kernel.  Is there something else i need to do for there to be /dev/dsp ?

Yes.  Software and DirectSound3d just don\'t work, while OpenAl causes Planeshift to not even finish starting up.  (I have openAl emerged, too.)

The thing is, I have done all of this, and sounds works fine otherwise on my system.  Just not in Planeshift.

Linux Specific Issues / No sound
« on: May 23, 2005, 10:46:02 pm »
OK I have asked this question before, I know, but hopefully now that there\'s a linux forum, someone will have an answer for me.

I have never had sound in PS, not even on the versions that I used the binary installer for.  This leads me to believe that the problem is with my system rather than with the way that PS is configured or built.  I realize that this makes this slightly off topic, for which I apologize, but I had nowhere else to turn.  When I run psclient, I get this about sound:

crystalspace.sound.software:
  Software Sound Renderer selected

crystalspace.sound.oss:
  SoundDriver OSS selected
opening audio device: No such file or directory

crystalspace.sound.software:
    Playing 44100 Hz, 16 bits, Stereo
    Volume: 1

Is there a way to choose alsa, or will it only work with oss?  if it only works with OSS, then I suspect that I don\'t have oss emulation working.  I am using a sound blaster audigy and gentoo 2.6.9-r13.  I have built all the oss emulation options into the kernel, but for some reason I still do not have /dev/dsp or /dev/mixer or /dev/sound/whatever.  I know from previous threads that there are other, hopefully smarter, gentoo users out there.  Can anyone help me?

Windows is for people who want to chat, browse the internet, and play video games.

Macs are for people who want to do all of the above on a system that will never blue screen, and who have a little bit more money, and may be interested in video editing, sound, photography, etc.

Linux does everything.  For free.  And stable.  OK there aren\'t too many games for it, but it runs Planeshift fine, which is the only game that matters.

Yes, I agree with this completely.  Gentoo is very very cool.

That\'s odd, cuz when you unzip the other 2, there\'s a directory in there called buttons/stance, which appears to have them.  the cvs skin doesn\'t have that but I still dont see why elves and default don\'t show them.  I tried changing some things in imagelist.xml but wasn\'t quite smart enough to figure it out.

Well I would like to contribute something, but unfortunately I am a horrible graphical artist.  I may give it a shot anyway, but unless I amaze myself, my efforts will never see the light of not-my-monitor.
